Female infertility is not a sentence

Female infertility is a condition in whichA woman can not conceive a child for at least 1 year of regular sexual activity with a fertile partner without using contraceptive methods. Self-restoration of reproductive function is extremely unlikely. Therefore, a woman needs medical help - you need to find and eliminate the cause of infertility.

There are a lot of factors provoking fertility decline in a woman. Specialists of the AltraVita clinic helped to understand the most common causes of infertility:

Pipe factor.

Fallopian tubes are structures connectingOvary and uterus. It is there that there is an egg with spermatozoa, one of which impregnates it. But if the lumen of this anatomical structure is closed, female and male sex cells can not meet, and then fertilization does not occur.

The causes of violation of patency of the fallopian tubes can be different:

Infections. Provoke the release of exudate into the lumen of the tube, resulting in its walls stick together. Spikes can form, and in this case the obstruction will already be organic, not functional.

Operations. Damage to the uterine tube during surgery is a risk factor for the formation of adhesions.

Endometriosis. Disease of dyshormonal origin, in which the inner layer of the uterus grows. Foci of endometriosis are quite capable of causing obstruction of the fallopian tubes.

Endocrine factor.

There are many diseases and syndromes,Which breaks the hormonal balance in the body of a woman. This is a syndrome of polycystic ovaries, hormone-producing tumors, a pathology of the thyroid gland. Due to changes in the activity of certain hormones, the process of maturation of the egg is disrupted.

The uterine factor.

There are forms of infertility in which an eggNormally ripens, goes into the fallopian tube, is fertilized by the sperm, but then the embryo can not integrate into the wall of the uterus, and pregnancy does not occur. This leads to a number of diseases:

Polyps of the uterus;

Synechia;

Uterine hyperplasia;

Adenomyosis;

myoma;

Malformations of the uterus.

Two more factors of infertility are distinguished by someClassifications into separate forms, but their existence does not yet find scientific confirmation. This immunological infertility associated with the formation of antisperm antibodies, as well as psychogenic infertility. Some clinics recognize these factors as possible causes of impaired fertility, others ignore them.
